Insects |
||||
A Note on Capitalization |
||||
Insect scientific names are governed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Vernacular names are not. In an attempt to “assure the uniformity of (common) names of common insects” the Entomological Society of America (ESA) published the Common Names of Insects and Related Organisms. ESA has no rule or guideline that addresses capitalization of common names. However, the list of common names published by ESA does not capitalize common names. Most sources, both in print and online, capitalize common insect names. These sources include ITIS, BAMONA, Odonata Central, and the Peterson Field Guides. MinnesotaSeasons.com will adhere to the convention adopted by ESA. |
